Disregard this message. This was the first one I sent that did not show up. Besides I'm playing with another solution that whould work...in theory :) > > From: Dennis Debro <ddebro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 2002/08/26 Mon PM 04:33:41 EDT > To: stella@xxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [stella] HELP Kernel timing > > I am having problems with my kernel and need some help. > > My goal is to create a port of Climber5 that was written for the 400/800. I was using Piero Cavina's kernel because it would work perfectly for this game. The problems I've encoutered are I would like the players to be in single line resolution and I'd like to have ~4 frames of animation for my main player (GRP0). To do this I was going to have to modify the kernel slightly. The major updates would be to add indirect indexing for the main player. I also didn't want to pad the main player with zeroes as I thought that would be a waste of ROM space. > > Anyway the problem I'm having is I'm spending too much time on the player positioning scanline (besides the fact that the player jumps a little horizontally). When I position the player I have to update GRP0 graphics too because it may be on that scanline. I'm using a jsr (I know it uses a lot or time) to update GRP0 but it's done after the critical code is done. This routine at worst would take about 29 cycles (excluding the jsr). > > I'm including a snipplet of my kernel. It's using aspects from Piero's MultiSprite Demo (http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/199704/msg00015.html) and the skipDraw routine submitted by Thomas (thank you). If I need to send more let me know. In the kernel I'm supplying I'm not doing any PF graphics. In the final version I would need to include those too. > > Please help me because I have hit a road block here. > > Thanks. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
